Subject: camcorder and crime

Basie reported on new camera/storage devices that could allow nearly complete 
recording of events around you all your life. This would obviously help in 

the potential reconstruction of a frozen patient, but it would also help reduce
crime, if the next step is taken and the data are immediately wirelessed to a 
secure central storage, your own or possibly shared. There would be obvious 

potential problems of abuse, but the advantages would be overwhelming. No crime
would be unwitnessed, and there would be an immediate trigger for help in 
emergencies.

Incidentally, there is an article in a recent issue of Reason on the net 
benefits of reduction of privacy.

R.E.
